2015 NBA Draft

[celticdb15]

Woohoo! This thread has now had over 1 million views!

There was a thread on the 2014 NBA draft and it had around 7,500 views.

So why the massive increase between this year and last year?

I think whites are becoming more racially aware and are consequently more interested in sites such as this.

I also think that because there are a number of white players that are expected to be drafted this year more interest is generated.

Awesome that amount of views is quite impressive!

I think there's some kind of glitch involved in how the views are tabulated for a few threads. There's no way over 1 million people have viewed this thread considering how short and recent it is and when it's compared to the views for other NBA threads.

The thread in the Soccer forum on the English Premier League has around 369,000 views, and the thread on the 2015 MLB season has around 135,000. Those numbers also seem way too high compared to the views of similar threads.

6'8" SG/SF Mario Hezonja has a good chance to be the best player to come out of this draft class....the athletic shooter has drawn comparisons to fellow countryman, the late Drazen Petrovic. Both were dominate players with an incredible level of mental confidence. As Mario himself said...:


"Respect? No, I never had respect to anybody on a basketball court. I heard about: 'If they smell blood, you get eaten.' I'm not like that. I don't care. Whether it's a veteran or a young player standing in front of me I always have the same goal. I want to run over everybody."

The kid is incredible. The sky is the limit with his talent. Now just let him go to a team that will actually start and build on that talent. He can be a number one player on most teams. The go to guy. Wow is he good!

 

[Freethinker]

There are 4 incredibly talented Whites guys who could all go in the "lottery portion" of the draft. Porzingis, Hezonja, Kaminsky and Dekker. I think they all have the ability to be stars. However, after them it might be along time until another White guy gets drafted based on what the mock drafts are showing. Probably a bunch of Euros who may or may not come over. The only other Americans that seem to have a chance of being drafted are Pat Connaughton and Aaron White.

I really hope the DWFs and DWSWs (drunk white sports writer) are wrong and a few more of our guys get selected.

Interesting interview from the athletic Sam Dekker

Sam Dekker Correctly Notes People Always Compare White Players To Other White Players

Sam Dekker, former Wisconsin Badger and soon-to-be NBA player, spoke a deep, deep truth on Tuesday.

He said something so basic that it probably shouldn’t even be news, except that it's something very few athletes ever really want to say.

“What players do you look to? What are the guys that you say, ‘I’d like to pattern my game after him or these people together?’†HuffPost Live host Marc Lamont Hill asked Dekker on Tuesday afternoon.

“Well, there’s a few,†Dekker said, obviously knowing what he was about to say, but questioning how exactly to say it. “Um, you know, there’s always, there’s always, me, um, the way I play, being a white guy, a lot of times you get compared to other white guys.â€

Bingo.

“Which isn't fair because your game isn’t necessarily like a particular white guy,†Hill correctly noted.

“I mean, if you go down that line, guys like Gordon Hayward, Chandler Parsons, you know, guys of this era right now that are pretty athletic who can get up and down, stretch the floor, shoot the ball, put it on the floor,†Dekker said.

But don't go down that line, Sam. Don’t fall into the racial trap. You don't even really play like those guys. Who do you really play like?

“Another guy I kind of like watching is Trevor Ariza,†he said.

Double bingo, Sam.

The NBA Draft is on Thursday

The big 4 this year and Mike and Mike

There are 4 incredibly talented Whites guys who could all go in the "lottery portion" of the draft. Porzingis, Hezonja, Kaminsky and Dekker. I think they all have the ability to be stars. However, after them it might be along time until another White guy gets drafted based on what the mock drafts are showing. Probably a bunch of Euros who may or may not come over. The only other Americans that seem to have a chance of being drafted are Pat Connaughton and Aaron White.

I really hope the DWFs and DWSWs (drunk white sports writer) are wrong and a few more of our guys get selected.

That sums it up. A good draft relatively speaking because the level of athleticism is very high and they are skilled. Hezonja and Connaughton can jump out of the gym. Porzingis is a great athlete. Dekker and White are fast moving forwards and Big frank should do fine. And a few other foreign players should get drafted.
Mike and Mike in the morning are sometimes amusing and they are not dumb. But they are racist ********. Try to find at any point they compliment a white athletes speed or athleticism and you won't find it. Their whole purpose in life is to denigrate white athletes and have orgasms over black athletes. They are modern day frauds and one of these days people like them and Jay Bilas and Kenny Smith and countless others will be exposed for what they are--white haters.

There are whispers going around that Serbian C Nikola Milutinov will sneak into the end of the first round.

Also, Russian C Sasha Kaun whose rights are owned by the Cleveland Cavaliers is expected to come over next season. He's 30.

I expect 5-6 whites in the first round, and 10-12 overall.

I'm glad to see Mario Hezonja picked by Orlando... He'll be great there!! And it denies the Kings another opportunity to ruin a white guard's career.

I couldn't agree more. Sacramento has been a black hole for our guys. Not since the Divac/Stoyokavic days have they been white friendly. I would have screamed if the kid went there. He has a chance to be a starter along side Vukevic. Very happy.


I also think Porzingis can be a future star in a few years. He reminds me of A. Kirelenko but even more talented and alot bigger. The NY City DWFs booed him but they will cheer him on someday soon. It just sucks that the kid went to the nbas worst team.

Frank the Tank goes to Charlotte with the 9th pick. While it's good he's in the top 10 Charlotte is not that White-friendly of a team. And he will be competing for minutes with Cody Zeller.

I can't stand Charlotte. I would've rather seen him fall, even to the Heat. Michael Jordan hasn't had a good white player since he's been with Charlotte. Jalen Rose just said the Bobcats picked up Spencer Hawes too... WTF?? All of the white players play the EXACT. SAME. SPOT.

Jordan's always been a racist. I don't like the looks of this. This has me thinking like BigunReal that he is intentionally collecting all these White players who play the same position.

 

[Riggins44]

Dekker to Houston. Better than The Tank going to Charlotte. Houston has a few White players who play when healthy.

Freakish athlete Pat Connaughton to the Nets in 2nd Round/41st overall...will he play baseball or basketball?

Arturas Guidatis..(47th Overall) Center from Lithuania to the 76ers

Aaron White...6'-9" Forward (Iowa)....49th pick Overall to the Wizards

Late 1st Round(26th pick) the Spurs selected 7'-0 Center Nikola Milutinov (Serbia)

Daniel Diez(Spain)...54th overall to the Jazz

Demetrios Agravanis (Greece)...59th overall to Hawks

Luka Mitrovic (Serbia) 60th/last pick to 76ers

May have missed a few others...Vanilla Sky nailed it...5 whites in 1st Round...12? overall

Sam Dekker going to the Rockets ; hopefully has the impact Chandler Parsons does before he left for Dallas.

 

[Vanilla_Sky]

Here are the final results:

4) Kristaps Porzingis - Latvia - PF - New York Knicks
5) Mario Hezonja - Croatia - SG/SF - Orlando Magic
9) Frank Kaminsky - Wisconsin - PF - Charlotte Bobcats
18) Sam Dekker - Wisconsi - SF - Houston Rockets
26) Nikola Milutinov - Serbia - C - San Antonio Spurs
31) Cedi Osman - Turkey - F - Cleveland Cavaliers
35) Guillermo Hernangomez - Spain - C - Philadelphia 76ers
39) Juan Valet - Argentina - SF - Brooklyn Nets
41) Pat Connaughton - Notre Dame - SG - Portland Trailblazers
47) Arturas Gudaitis - Lithuania - C - Philadelphia 76ers
49) Aaron White - Iowa - PF - Washington Wizards
50) Markus Eriksson - Sweden - SG - Atlanta Hawks
54) Daniel Diez - Spain - SF - Portland Trailblazers
57) Nikola Radicevic - Serbia - PG - Denver Nuggets
59) Dimitrios Argavanis - Greece - PF - Atlanta Hawks
60) Luka Mitrovic - Serbia - PF - Philadelphia 76ers

That's 16/60 or 26.6%

 

[Vanilla_Sky]

What was the NFL draft total? This might be better...

I count Turkish players in my totals however, only one was drafted, but the Turkish players in the NBA always resemble Anatolians and not the mongol invaders..

The true question is how many of these foreign players will make the jump. Every year we see tons of Euros drafted in the second round, and I would guess 60% decide to never come over.

 

[jacknyc]

This has to be much better than the NFL draft.....which in some ways is surprising.
I think most people would say that basketball is a 'blacker' sport than football.

 

[Leonardfan]

Percentage wise the NBA draft was better for our guys. The NFL draft this year was garbage moreso than it normally is. Typically the NFL hovers between 23-25% but was lower this year.

congrats to our guys and good work tracking the draft here. Can't wait to see how the kentucky and Duke one and dones bust.

The Knicks drafting Porzingis has really upset the racist Stephen A. Smith. To the point of "ruining his vacation".

http://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/steph...tion-to-complain-about-the-knicks-draft-pick/

Gotta love Phil Jackson for trolling all the black racists and DWFs who wanted them to take a brotha who's ready to step in and help "their boy" Carmelo. I think Jackson is smart enough to realize they are never winning with Anthony so he's looking past him already. He's taking the player with the most upside. The player who, down the road, could end up being the best player from this draft. A guy compared to Kevin Garnett with a better jumper. I love this pick.

lol that is great. I saw a few comments calling out Stephen a. Smith for being rascist so it's nice to know others are seeing what we are. Carmelo Anthony sucks - he is the reason for the Knicks woes but the pro black media prop him up as some sort of God on the basketball court. The dwfs had their typical NY reaction to their beloved Knicks drafting a white guy meanwhile blindly supporting the hugely overrated Carmelo Anthony. I think ny sports fans are the worst - just a bunch of fat loud mouthed slobs.

Overall very good coming on the heels of an NFL draft that sucked big time. There are always obstacles. It is much tougher for a white player to mesh because the league is basically black and they have can be tough on whites assimilating.
The Porzingis pick really pissed off the Knicks fans who were at the draft in person including a young boy who faked crying and then took a phone video of himself. Way to go parents of young kids today teach them to hate white players at an early age--anyone see that?
From Colin Cowturd--what a true ******* to Stephen A Smith some of the reactions have been beyond hostile. Hope the kid offers up a ton of facials next year and shut their asses up. They claim the animosity is aimed at Euro players but that isn't it. It is foreign white players that gets their dander up.
From Super Mario to Dekker and Connaughton we have some serious athletes this go around.

Not to mention I heard a million times on draft night "Is he gonna be Darko or Dirk?" I mean, are they serious? It's like, "Hey he's a white Euro who's tall, we must compare him to other tall white Euros!! There are no other comparisons that would even work."

Yes I agree. What does this guy have to do with Dirk or Darko? They fail too mention that for every Euro flop there have been tons of American black flops.

Not just that, but white players drafted in the top 5 always are suspected of being a potential bust, much more so than black draft picks. But if you look back at past drafts, there are plenty of black busts to go around. But the black picks always have dat upside. How many of the black first round picks this year who averaged 3 points and 2 rebounds in their one year in college will flop in the NBA? Probably alot of them.
